Well fuck my local shop then I told them to do that too, they're all assholes

will it really make a difference if its not like that?

So is it just drops of wax on the base then? Not a full coat of wax?

If they just did drops of wax on the base then I suggest you never return to that shop again, and just buy yourself a cheap iron, a scrapping tool, an edge tool and some wax and tell them to f-off.

Unless you have a full coat of wax covering the base, you're not really getting the protection you are looking for. It's not life or death, but its smart to cover the base with wax when storing for the summer.

Ok I have a feeling the OP and the rest of us are thinking 2 completely different things. Is the base of the board covered in wax? If so it's in the base as well and they did iron it (or run it through the rollers), the base doesn't absorb all the wax, hence why we scrape it before riding.

If the shop charged you to just drip on drops of wax, post up the shop name here, and never go back to them again. A lot of shop employees don't know their shit, but I can't imagine a shop employee being that stupid.

That's what I was wondering when I asked if it's really just drops of wax. I can't beleive that's what he's really talking about.

However, I couldn't figure out what else he could mean, but I think you are right....he's thinking that since he can see the wax on the base that means it's not melted into the base

No no I think everyone has the wrong idea. The wax is all over the base, but theres a bunch of un even places where theres a shitload of wax in one spot, its ont just drops or anything. What I'm trying to say is its not really melted into the base its just kinda a layer ON the base. Maybe he just put a thick layer on? Idk.
